Here's the thing. "Your Support" includes your qualified education expenses. Those were not paid by you. They were paid with scholarship money. Any scholarship money not used for qualified education expenses, was used for "your support" for those other expenses. Again, it was not "your" "earned" income that you spent for those expenses. It was taxed scholarship income provided to you by a 3rd party. You can only support yourself with money that you physically earned in the same tax year that you used it to support yourself. I seriously doubt you earned enough money at a 3 month summer job, to support yourself with for an entire year. Most likely, your earned income alone is not more than 50% of the total money you received in the tax year. So there's no way you could have provided more than 50% of your own support.
